Verdict

ARMA THE GREAT (3) showed plenty of fight to come from the back line and salute at the most recent appearance at this circuit and distance, getting home by a head. Should have no excuses from this advantageous draw so can keep the ball rolling. SECRET LINE (1) drew wide so did well to finish only 2.5 metres from the winner here last time. He is better served by the ace draw. Tricky draw for UNCLE CRAIGO (10) but he must be considered after placing in four of his last five starts, missing by just over a metre last time. ALWAYSATTHEBEACH (9) draws for a trail so could be dangerous.
